I've warmed to Beccy already

Maybe - but the show hasn't suffered this week because of it, has it?

I think it has changed. The show isn't just about what we hear on air - how do we know the show hasn't suffered behind the scenes?

Well she obviously likes the sound of her own voice and is seeking fame. Personally I don't care what she thinks, especially when she's on more than Scott the presenter who I want to hear from!

It's TOTDS' decision if someone is to speak or not. If he didn't think she contributed positively he wouldn't let her do it. I don't see your argument. She may speak a little more than Chappers but that's because she is in the studio more often. She's no different to Laura in that respect.

I'm not having a go at her, I just don't think she should be on - she's not a presenter and had done nothing to prove her worth of being on air!

So for that reason should Chris Moyles' breakfast team stop speaking?

It's a bit suspicious of all these newbies that have suddenly appeared to discuss Beccy. It seems a little odd considering the rest of us have been very positive. Anyway, welcome along. I'd like to remind you to keep criticism constructive, especially when it involves team members who visit!

Hi guys - hope you're all well?

Was having a read of the forums earlier and feel this is all getting a bit out of hand, and that both Laura and Beccy could get hurt by comments on here. It must be hard for Beccy to follow on from Laura, and I know it's been hard for Laura to leave behind her team. She is totally enjoying her new job but you can appreciate it might be hard for her at times.

Let's all play nicely and stop with these comparisons so not upset anyone, ok?

don't jump to conclusions. there is one becky basher on here right now who has only just joined, the rest of us (some whom have been here years) are giving her a chance and she's responding well. we miss laura and always will, it's not the same without her around anymore. but there is nothing we can do and have had to move on, although we are delighted for laura being as she is moving up the ladder.

i haven't been able to get a good grasp on the show latley being as i am decending into a personal madness with my life it seems. i hope to get things back on track and listen more, but i catch it in the car sometimes. and from what i have heard of becky she seems to be settling in well and interacting well too. i hear her a lot, and considering i don't hear the show as much as i used to that's a good sign. i don't think she can fill laura's shoes at all, she's wearing her own instead i think. i think in time we will see becky as becky and not the girl who replaced laura.

on the grid.

Have I missed something? Where has Laura gone and who is Becky?

As the below quote says. It was announced a while back:

This is quite a popular question on the facebook page aswell. Laura left at the end of March to go and produce the chart show with Fearne and Reggie on Sundays!

    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.   
    • Could this be similar to what Arielle Free did in Covid on Weekend Early Breakfast?
    • Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.
    • I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.
    • I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.
    • I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.
    • Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok? 
    • I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.
    • Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.
    • These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!
    • Friday - Nathan Dawe, Wilkinson Saturday - Jax Jones Sunday - London Grammar, Remi Woolf, AJ Tracey
    • Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air. 
    • Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.
